I thought I recognized the voice on the ads! It's funny when you look at a pic of the champ. I expected this big guy that sort of looked like tom arnold with a little more muscle. He looks like a skinny older dude! lol

Your best bet really is to watch the weather at both places and go to the one with better snow. Both are incredible but Whistler is a whole experience that should not be missed. I wont be able to go anywhere until the end of February; I have a full 3 day a week coaching commitment until then. In mid March, I will be riding in Alaska for about 15 days.

Fair enough, I guess for a sunday-tuesday trip I don't need to worry about any place selling out. I'll book our flights and figure the rest out when the snow starts flying!

The thing I have come to learn about politics (and religion or even sports) is that you will never change the other persons mind. Its like asking someone to stop cheering for their favorite sports team and start cheering for yours. Funny, much like sport fans there usually is no real reason why they love their team vs hate another. i.e. "why am I an eagles fan? Because I always have been. I was born a fan, my parents were fans, and never mind every player, leader and owner has changed 10 times over I am a eagles fan." The same stupid mentality is in politics. People follow a party first, and the issues second.

Whats my point? There is no point to political debates in online forums except for crapping on the other guy.

I was never involved in the political forum because I find both sides of american politics to be out to lunch. I would much prefer a dictatorship...assuming of course I was the dictator.

Oh yeah???? C'mere and say that.

Seriously, it's almost never about changing the other person's mind at the time. And for most people that's the same as never. But over time, if you have enough arguments and find yourself on the defensive enough times, and if you're honest enough, you'll start to rethink some of your assumptions. I know that over the last couple of decades I've moved steadily to the left. Back in the Preston Manning days, I was a staunch Reform supporter (for our US members, the Conservative party used to refer to the Reform party as fascists... ). It's also often about the audience. Snowolf and Jdang may never change each others' minds, but their argument can affect the opinions of those in the audience who may not have made up their minds (or petrified them) yet.
